Vodafone Sure Signal: 3G network in your home

vodafone-sure-signal Last summer Vodafone unveiled their Access Gateway femtocell, a small router-esque device which connected to your home broadband connection and acted as a micro mobile mast in your own home.

Vodafone has just relaunched the Access Gateway with the slightly snappier and decidedly less euphemistic Sure Signal. It the exact same beast in the same BT Home Hub looking white box, but it now benefits from a reduced price of £50 for customers on a Vodafone pay monthly plan or £120 for everyone else – this can be broken down into monthly payments of £5 over a 24 month period.

The Vodafone Access Gateway Sure Signal plugs directly into your broadband line and routes all voice calls, texts and data requests across your connection.

We think that this is really useful if you live in an area which has reliable broadband connections but bad signal.

Whilst you’d want to use the Sure Signal to make more reliable and clearer mobile calls, you’d probably be better off sticking to using your home router as a Wi-Fi point for all data requests. iPhone customers on Vodafone for example get unlimited Wi-Fi, but 3G is capped at 1GB a month.
